Who is stronger, Thor or Zeus?

How did Thor beat Zeus so easily?

Thor wanted Zeus and the other gods to help him fight Gorr the Godbutcher (Christian Bale), who—as you can perhaps guess from his name—poses a threat to all the gods. Zeus is uninterested in helping.

He may not be worthy, but technically Zeus is the fifth character who can lift Mjolnir in the MCU's Phase 4.

Who would win, Zeus or Odin?

Why was Zeus afraid of Gorr?

Can Zeus beat Thanos?

As Skyfather of Olympus, Zeus wields power comparable to Odin, whose wrath Thanos has withstood but not bested. At the same time, Zeus cannot truly die. While the most powerful of Olympians can be badly wounded or even dismembered, he can never actually pass on into oblivion.
